They could, but it's harder for a small country to enforce such laws compared to the US.
Of course if they can get the EU to help enforce those laws, perhaps the sky is the limit.
People living far away are the ideal tax base. For one thing, they can't effectively vote against the tax.

- klipt 4y agoYes expats are split across multiple locations which makes their votes too dilute to matter.
